readx; Now the deepest drilling rig has dug 15 kilometers underground, which has already broken the world record. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, there is still no trace of plutonium.
Shen Yi was convinced of the results of the Blue Sky 1 satellite, plutonium must be hidden in the deeper underground, and at present, he is only worried that the S-class drilling rig will not be able to dig that deep.
This morning, Wei Tie came to Shen Yi's office excitedly: "Shen Dong, the No. 2 drilling rig has made a new discovery!" β
"Is it natural plutonium?" Shen Yi asked.
"No, it's uranium! But uranium ore is also a strategic nuclear resource! Wei Tie said.
"That's not bad, but I still want natural plutonium, so keep digging deeper!" Shen Yi said.
"Shen Dong, the No. 1 drilling rig has almost penetrated into the lower mantle layer, and there may be a surprise." Wei Tie said.
"Okay, then we'll see!" Shen Yi nodded and said.
In the afternoon, Drilling Rig 1 came with the surprising news that a large amount of oil had been found in the lower mantle layer!
Shen Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly left the office and came to the No. 1 drilling rig.
I saw that the top of the drilling rig sprayed a thick black "ink", which was oil, and it was very pure in terms of color, and it could be directly used to ignite and produce energy.
"I really didn't expect that there could be oil in the ground so deep!" Wei Tie sighed.
"Well, our actions also confirmed the previous conjecture of scientists, there are indeed a large amount of oil reserves in the lower mantle layer, and what are the current proven reserves?" Shen Yi asked.
"At least 100 million barrels." Wei Tie said.
"So much? Then this news must be kept strictly confidential, and I don't want to be the target of those OPEC oil producers. Shen Yi Zhengse said.
The conventional wisdom in science is that the vast majority of fossil fuels, including coal, oil, and natural gas, are found in the earth's crust, and that if any, they should be in the mantle, but only in very small amounts.
However, in recent years, with the deepening of scientific exploration, some scientists have begun to favor the theory that the mantle, especially the lower mantle, may contain oil.
Now, Shen Yi's drilling rig confirms this point. Over the next few days, coal and methane were also explored, and reserves were still abundant.
Five of the ten rigs are close to reaching their maximum drilling limits, but the most needed plutonium is still nowhere to be found...... This morning, Shen Yi was working in the office, and Dum, the security captain of the gold mine, walked in, stood upright, and said to him in fluent English: "Chairman Shen, there is a Pall chieftain outside, Mr. Guzita, who wants to see you with his daughter Doroth, and has brought rich gifts, including three goats, two oxen, and a Bactrian camel. β
"Pall chieftain? I don't seem to have any contact with them! "Since the last time he went to the Bororo tribe to be in distress, Shen Yi has become more vigilant about these indigenous people nearby, and his favorability has also decreased.
"They said they wanted to thank you for saving your life." Doom said.
"A life-saving grace?" Shen Yi's eyes rolled, and he asked in a deep voice, "That little girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, with big eyes and beautiful looks?" β
"Yes, her name is Doroth, and she is the chief's daughter." Doom said.
"Haha, I see, invite them in!" Shen Yi suddenly realized that Doroth must be the thirteen or fourteen-year-old black girl he rescued in the Bororo camp a few days ago.
Doom turned and left the office. After a while, I saw two black men and women wearing bright national costumes, an old man and a young man, walking into Shen Yi's office under the leadership of Du Mu.
Shen Yi looked up and took a closer look, the little girl next to the chief was indeed the one rescued in the Booro tribe, only to see that she was also wearing a set of robes with bright red embroidered patterns, a purple headscarf on her head, a necklace around her neck, a bracelet on her hand, a row of thin and dense braids, coffee-colored skin, and a pair of big eyes with clear water, very beautiful and cute.
"This is our boss, Mr. Shen Yi." Doom knows a lot of national languages, and he happens to be a guest translator next to him.
"Hello, Mr. Shen! Thank you for saving my daughter a few days ago, and today you brought a little gift, I hope you can take it. Chief Guzita of Pall stared at Shen Yi and said with a smile.
"You may be seated!" Shen Yi smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.
Guzita and her daughter Doroth sat down.
"I have a question for you, Mr. Chief, how did Miss Doros get caught by the Borollos and put in the dungeon? Do you have a feud between the two tribes? Shen Yi asked.
"Yes, our two tribes often fight for oases and water in the desert, and my daughter went out hunting a few days ago and accidentally fell into the trap of the Bororo people, if you hadn't saved her. Alas, the consequences are serious! They're going to make her a slave, thank you so much! Guzita said gratefully.
"So that's the case, hehe, for humanitarian reasons, I can't see death without help, Mr. Chief, don't be polite." Shen Yi smiled.
"I brought my daughter here today, and there is another very important matter...... Guzita said as she glanced at her daughter beside her.
"What's the matter?" Shen Yi hurriedly asked.
"Mr. Shen, you can bring people out of the heavily guarded camp of the Booro people, it is enough to prove that you are a great hero, we Pall people worship heroes, so I have decided to marry my daughter Doroth to you!" Guzita looked at Shen Yi and said with a firm expression: "From today onwards, she will be your person!" β
"Huh?" Shen Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Chief, don't be joking, this is not good!" I have a fiancΓ©e in Huaxia, and I can't marry her. β
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious! This is the custom of our Pall people, girls are to marry real heroes, regardless of nationality. Guzita said.
Shen Yi glanced at Doroth, who was silent and shy next to him, and turned to Guzita and asked, "Mr. Chieftain, how old is your daughter this year?" β
"Just turned fourteen." Guzita said.
"This is too small, if I really marry her, it will be illegal in our Huaxia Kingdom, so let's ask Mr. Chief to take back this idea!" Shen Yi said sincerely.
"Hehe, in our Pall tribe, a girl is an old girl after the age of fourteen, please be sure to accept her, even if she is a little wife." Guzita said with a serious expression.
"It's even worse to be a little wife! We practice monogamy in Huaxia, and I am guilty of bigamy. Shen Yi said solemnly.
"I asked someone to inquire about Mr. Shen before I came here, you have a high reputation in Huaxia Country, you can still solve this matter, in short, my daughter is your person in this life and this life." Guzita said.
"Mr. Chief, can you really bear to let your daughter marry in a foreign country? Don't you want her? Shen Yi asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, I have ten wives, and I have given birth to nine sons and thirteen daughters, three of whom have already married into neighboring countries, which is normal, and girls have to marry when they are older." Guzita Zhengse said.
Shen Yi secretly complained in his heart, he had saved Doroth out of kindness, but now it's good, but he saved her to his side!
"It's still the same sentence, Mr. Shen, from today onwards, she will be your person." Guzita smiled.
"Mr. Chief, I have a compromise." Shen Yi's eyes rolled, and he said: "It is not in accordance with the law to ask me to marry her, but since you insist on sending her to me, then I have to send her to study in Yanjing, the capital of Huaxia, now she is fourteen years old, she can go to Yanjing No. 1 Middle School to study in the international class, I will pay for it, and after completing her studies in the future, I will be admitted to the university of Huaxia and be a little messenger to communicate the relationship between Huaxia and Niyier, what do you think?" β
"That's great, thank you Mr. Shen." Guzita's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly.
"Well, that's it, if you're in a hurry, I can arrange someone to send her to Huaxia Kingdom tomorrow, if you're not in a hurry, you can send it in a few days." Shen Yi smiled.
"No, I'm in a hurry, let's send her to Huaxia tomorrow!" Guzita said eagerly.
"Okay, then you can leave Miss Doroth with me today, and I'll arrange a place for her to live." Shen Yi smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "How can I see that this chief's eyes are a little sad, could it be that something happened to their tribe?" β
"Okay, thank you so much." Guzita turned her head to look at her daughter Doroth, and said, "Child, you followed Mr. Shen to Huaxia Kingdom, you have to study hard, don't be playful, you know?" β
With tears in her big beautiful and clear eyes, Doroth nodded heavily, feeling like she was parting from life and death.
Shen Yi secretly wondered: "Since this chief is so reluctant to let his daughter go, why is he still playing with my side to push?" Could there be something else going on here? β
At this time, I saw Guzita take out another check from his pocket, put it on Shen Yi's desk, and smiled at him: "Mr. Shen, this is a check for 100,000 US dollars, which can be used as the cost of my daughter's marriage in the future, and there are some gold and silver jewelry on the camel I brought today, which can be counted as her dowry, whether you are willing to marry her in the future or not, I hope these things can always follow her and find a good home." β
"Well, I promise you, don't worry!" Shen Yi stared at the chief Guzita and asked tentatively, "Mr. Chief, have you encountered any difficulties?" Need my help? β
"No, it's our tribe's own business, I have the ability to solve it, goodbye." Guzita Zhengse said.
"Well, goodbye." Shen Yi stood up and sent Chief Guzita out of the office.
